Description
By the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2021
On a late November afternoon Saleh Omar arrives at Gatwick Airport from Zanzibar, a far away island in the Indian Ocean. With him he has a small bag in which there lies his most precious possession - a mahogany box containing incense. He used to own a furniture shop, have a house and be a husband and father. Now he is an asylum seeker from paradise; silence his only protection. Meanwhile Latif Mahmud, someone
intimately connected with Saleh's past, lives quietly alone in his London flat. When
Saleh and Latif meet in an English seaside town, a story is unravelled. It is a story of
love and betrayal, of seduction and of possession, and of a people desperately trying to find stability amidst the maelstrom of their times.
